Critical Role Video Game Announcement Could Arrive 'Any Day,' Travis Willingham Confirms

Author : Gabriella Update : Mar 15,2025

The wildly popular Dungeons & Dragons show, Critical Role, is on the cusp of launching its first major video game, with CEO Travis Willingham hinting at an imminent announcement – potentially "any day now." This exciting news emerged during a recent interview with Business Insider. While specifics regarding the game's title and its precise connection to the Critical Role universe remain under wraps, Willingham confirmed the development team is diligently working on the project.

"They'll actually be getting their hands on the stick and controlling the outcome of the story, changing what might be possible from not just some of their favorite characters, but new offerings in the world of Exandria," he explained, highlighting the game's interactive narrative.

Willingham, a prominent actor and Critical Role cast member, co-founded the company alongside fellow voice acting stars Liam O'Brien, Marisha Ray, Sam Riegel, Ashley Johnson, Laura Bailey, Matthew Mercer, and others. Since its inception, Critical Role has expanded into a multifaceted entertainment franchise, notably with the successful Amazon Prime Video series, Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina.

While the upcoming video game will join Critical Role's expanding portfolio, it won't necessarily be directly tied to existing storylines. In December 2024, Willingham revealed to Rolling Stone that the team was actively pursuing a video game spinoff, stating they were "starting to come to the end of a long road that we’ve been undertaking for the last couple of years." Whether the game will adapt one of the group's campaigns or introduce an original Exandrian narrative remains to be seen.

At the time, an announcement was anticipated before the end of 2024 or early 2025. Now, several months into the new year, the impending reveal seems imminent. Willingham further elaborated to Rolling Stone, stating, "Those collaborations we’ve had with various partners have been little toe dips in the pool just to see how it feels. You know, there’s a lot of upheaval in the interactive space right now. And we’ve seen studios sort of bear and weather those strains. It’s trying to become smarter about it and find out how we might fit into that larger ecosystem."

While a release date remains undisclosed, anticipation is high. In the meantime, fans can eagerly await further details on The Legend of Vox Machina Season 4.
